Book Reviews of Accessories After the Fact: The Warren Commission, the Authorities, and the Report
Book Review: Possibly the Mother of all assassination books!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm sorry I didn't read this book sooner. Sylvia Meagher has really done her homework - I'm sure she has been through the Warren Report from start to finish. In spite of the fact that I've been through a fair number of assassination books by now - several of them referring to Meagher - there were some new bits of information to find here and there.
Apparently the Warren Commission didn't requisition every known still or motion picture. I was certain that they did, but just didn't utilize them to their full potential and made sure that the more "embarrassing" ones were thoroughly classified and hidden from the public.
A package addressed to Lee Oswald, containing an 18 inch long brown paper bag, was discovered in the Irving post office on December 4, 1963!?
Oswald left a note behind with instructions to Marina in case he didn't return: "... 11. If I am alive and taken prisoner, ..."
There is some evidence to suggest that Oswald sold a .30 cal. U.S. Army rifle in March or April 1963.
I didn't know that Sylvia Odio's three mysterious visitors - among them the infamous ex-Marine Leon Oswald - had been found by the FBI.
Those are just a few examples. Okay, I may have come across some of those bits before, forgotten about them or thought nothing of them at the time, but Accessories After the Fact really put the spotlight on the little details that a somewhat casual reader like me might well overlook in the abundance of information concerning the Kennedy assassination.
I must admit that I have often shaken my head at the incompetence of the Dallas Police. But I must agree with Sylvia Meagher, when she points out, that the Dallas Police came to the same conclusion over a weekend that took the "no-expenses-spared" Warren Commission the better part of year to arrive at.
Sylvia Meagher almost made me want to check up on all of her references and read the Warren Report - all 26 Volumes of Hearings and Exhibits included!
